VHO Missouri 2

(cont'd from yesterday's post)

Would hyperloop along I-70 be a good thing for citizens of Missouri? Is it likely to be successful and practical? The feasibility study says, Yes.

Key findings of the study:

• Accident reduction along that corridor, with a net savings of up to $91 M
• Travel time reduction: Kansas City to St. Louis is 3.5 hours by car now, compared to 28 minutes by hyperloop
• Cost reduction: less than the cost of gas for that trip by car
• Compared to high speed rail, the cost would be 40% lower and speed 2-3x faster
